    Starting Battery - HEADWAY 38120 HP LIFEPO4 LITHIUM BATTERIES

    I would definitely agree that heat and overcharge/undercharge and floating are the biggest issues. I need a BMS that can handle at least 150 amps of draw and that's not including the starting amps (which I need to measure), which is hard to find reasonably priced. I took a temp reading with...

    Starting Battery - HEADWAY 38120 HP LIFEPO4 LITHIUM BATTERIES

    Finally installed this build today. I have been researching for a while weather or not to use a BMS or not. Trying to find something at a decent price and not at POS is a bit challenging that will hold the kind of amps I'm looking for (200). I bought these used off of ebay for $40 for 4 of...

    ARB bumper spacing to the body

    Ya. Noticed that, it wouldn't move up at all until cut some pieces. Anyway, I have about 15 mm of clearance, no issue there. Used the crap right here. Scotch paded it to knock of the shine

    ARB bumper spacing to the body

    Pretty sure my bumper hit a few things in the past, it was kinda tilted forward so the gap was much larger near the grill, like 2 inches. The bumper definitely doesn't fit all that well, one side sticks out about an 1 in where the fender meets up, you can see it in the picture there on the...

    ARB bumper spacing to the body

    That frame mount is a bit different than mine. How is should be done I guess. It even shows cutting the front bumper area off (step 3). 1/2 in is doable. I probably have a 1/4 in some spots and 1/2 in in other. I need to grind down the weld in one spot that is almost touching. I looked...

    ARB bumper spacing to the body

    I bought a used LC that had a ARB bumper and it had about a 1 inch gap between the top and the body. It bugged me to the point of trying to fix it. Damn OCD. What you think, worth it? Was pretty easy other than lifting the bumper back on by myself.. I bet it weighs 200 lbs. Hard to see the gap...

    DIY: Sunroof Weatherstrip Replacement

    Pop it off with a plastic trim remover strait down and there are 4 10mm bolts under it. ( Mine bolts where silver, I feel shorted) Pop front and back off first. Yes, the glass has to come out. Literally takes like 2 mins to remove it if that. I used 3M window urethane on mine and ran a bead...

    2000 LC front suspension w/ARB Bumper and 9K winch

    So much easier the second time doing this. Took like 15 mins. Went a bit aggressive on the first try, pretty much set it to the bolt almost all the way out. Got it up to 20 1/2 and it was hanging down pretty bad, pop it off went back a couple of splines.. gtg. I left it at 20 1/2 because the...

    2000 LC front suspension w/ARB Bumper and 9K winch

    Knewstance.. Nothing in the rear. I'm not loading it down with anything, but I plan on putting new shocks back there. What you thinking? 108 mm difference. 19 1/2 - 23 3/4.. So I need to raise it about 2 1/4 ins ? What is the max indexing you can do with the OMEs? I know there's a physical...

    2000 LC front suspension w/ARB Bumper and 9K winch

    Ya, basically hitting a sharp bump and like its "bottoming out " or compressed on the up stroke so it would seem I need less droop? I'll jack her up and see what I got. I probably have an 1/8 or so of space left to move the torsion bolt. What's weird I never got any sag from them like most...

    2000 LC front suspension w/ARB Bumper and 9K winch

    I have already installed OME torsion bars and fox 2.0 shocks on the front and I have the tbars almost maxed out on the drivers side and barely have it at stock height again. The new tbars and shocks definitely helped with the ride and weight compared to the factory. It bottoms out pretty easy if...
